One man bleeding and works great! I put these on all my cars and motorcycles.

I have purchased these before and bought 4 this time (2 sets) for a pair of Wilwood Dynalite front calipers.The first bleeder installed fine, but the second one I used snapped in half. I was being very careful not to over-tighten it and was tightening it a small amount each time after testing for fluid flow. It was still not sealed / seated in the Wilwood bleeder adapter as brake fluid continued to flow when the brake pedal was pressed. In spite of my care in only tightening it a small amount each time it snapped off before it would stop flowing brake fluid. To add insult to injury, I broke a screw extractor trying to get the broken piece out of the bleeder adapter, so now I'm buying a set of those.

The image shows a thread sealant that is supposed to keep air leaking past the threads while loosened. Mine had no such sealant. As a result, they spin quite freely while loosened and I'm not confident that they're airtight while bleeding. Also, it takes some trial and error to loosen them the proper amount and the pedal feel is very strange while bleeding, not giving much tactile feedback during the process. This might be vehicle specific though and this was my first time using this type of bleeder. I think you're still better off having a helper to avoid a ton of in and out of the vehicle to check on the progress. After my first attempt at all four, I think I still have some air in the lines, so I'll have to try a second round, but overall, it's definitely easier than standard bleeder screws.

Perfect fit for my Wilwood calipers. Quick, easy, and cleaner process to bleed the brakes by myself.

I had worked at bleeding the rear brakes on my 73 Corvette for hours. I tried gravity bleeding, vacuum bleeding and pumping the pedal bleeding. I still was getting air bubbles. I put grease on the threads of my stock bleeder valves and was still getting air bubbles.Once I installed the Russell bleeder valves, I had my brakes bled within half an hour. Great product and well worth the money. I bought 2 sets for the dual bleed screw setup on Corvette brakes. No regrets!

Well worth the price in making brake bleeding way more efficient and effective. No need to have help pumping the pedal or going back and forth from pedal to slave cylinders by yourself. Easily gets more air out of the system to make your brakes safer.

These make it very easy for one person to bleed brakes, but be careful not to open them too far or air can leak past the threads. Crack them open just enough so that they pass brake fluid and you shouldn't have a problem.

Ordered the specific bleeder indicated for my vehicle, but it DID NOT FIT. NOT EVEN CLOSE! Seems pretty basic to provide customers with an accurate size/fit guide for their vehicle, but guess this is beyond their ability. Or perhaps they just don't care. Regardless, I would no longer trust putting Russell brake parts on my vehicle, if they screw up on something so basic as this. Save yourself $$$ and wasted time by seeking out bleeders from another company.

These fit wildwood calipers which use 1/4-28 threads. Nice made in USA parts! They work as advertised. Remember to bottom them out totally before opening them 1/4 turn to bleed. In other reviews, I see discussions regarding the function of the material on the threads. According to Russell, it is thread sealant (not thread locker) to prevent air being pulled back into caliper when backed out 1/4 turn (see pic). Recommend checking the valves after test drive to ensure that there are no small leaks which may indicate that the part is not fully bottomed out.
